Hi

I am trying to scrape some data from the following website: 

https://www.ncver.edu.au/research-and-statistics/visualisation-gallery/atlas-of-total-vet

I keep getting a table that has the headings Kind, Name, Children and Text with the following words beneath each heading: Element, HTML, Table, null.

Does this mean that the tables aren't in the correct format to allow me to import them?

Hi Karen,

There are no tables Power Query can identify on that page. If I browse to the 'Trends' data it displays some charts, but these are in an iframe, not a table. You can't scrape this data with Power Query, sorry.
